Editor, the Advocate:

To celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July, we should thank the Lord that we are privileged enough to live in the U.S. of A. Our forefathers gave us a wonderful governmental plan for governing this country, with the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and strong Judeo-Christian values.

We must thank our military for taking care of our freedoms; without them we would not be here.

We have a responsibility to guard our rights and to not let them be taken away.
